I'm a ruler too Jonathan,,

as for being a runner,, it's not saying that you are one,,or that it's even the best exercise for you,, it's saying that most runners are of this body type because it is easier for them.. it goes on to say that most endurance type sports are easier for rulers also.. I can kind of agree with that,, where as I'm not a runner,, but more of a swimmer, and can swim all day long.. even my excoach said I had the right body type for it,, *as long as I strapped my top half in so as not to create the added resistance of my chest*

The difference is that, we tend to carry our extra weight in our waist and rear end.. and have to work extra hard to develop muscles.. Now, that I've lost weight, I can see what they are talking about.. Where as before, I lost weight, the muscle underneath just made me look bulkier.. *it explictely says that if you are overweight,, you need to slim down BEFORE you start to bulk up, or this will happen*
